Today is the day in 1877 that Edison invented the phonograph. And what’s a phonograph without a record? Not much. As it’s always been, the music flows in the direction of technology and the first major step was the long playing record. The EL PEE. Wax. The Groove. Dynaflex. Unbreakable. Hi-Fidelity, Full=Spectrum. Living Sound. ffrr. Mono. Stereo.
